Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Raphael Saadiq’s limited-edition Telecaster combines an ash body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fingerboard with visual details chosen for this model, including clay dots, a custom pickguard, body binding, and a black headstock. Its custom single-coil Tele pickups are voiced for a warm, punchy response that can become smoother with the tone control or more articulate when opened up. The '59 C neck has a satin urethane back, 9.5-inch radius, and 21 vintage-tall frets.
